    We can use this filter in case that we want to add and archive page for our custom taxonomy that we have created from a plugin. In this case the filter we will need is “taxonomy_template”.

    add_filter( "taxonomy_template", 'load_our_custom_tax_template');
    function load_our_custom_tax_template ($tax_template) {
      if (is_tax('custom-tax-name')) {
        $tax_template = dirname(  __FILE__  ) . '/templates/custom-taxonomy-template.php';
      }
      return $tax_template;
    }
